Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas

I was arrested (age 25) for public lewdness in 1996 in Houston, plead guilty, served 30-days community service. Is there any way to get this arrest off his record or sealed so potential employers don�t see his arrest on record?

That is not correct. You either got deferred adjudication probation with some kind of community service (upon a guilty or no contest plea) or you got a dismissal after doing community service.

Contact a local lawyer who can run your record. If you got deferred, you can petition the court for nondisclosure (to seal your record). If the case was dismissed, you can file a civil lawsuit to expunge your record.
